Official 2005 All-Star Game thread...
 

Home Run Derby is starting up in a few hours. Any predictions? And whats this I hear about them representing their countires instead?

Does this one count also?

This is probably the least excited I have been for an All-Star game in a while. Lol, Gammons is a great though. I'm really not too against the international format thing. It brings out different people and gives it somewhat of a storyline, its not like I care a tonn if I Pujols and Tejada aren't in it. This is featuring guys in markets that I haven't seen much, like Philly, Pittsburgh, Texas etc. No problem with me.

That montage in the beginning was pretty cool though

lol @ Piazza jamming out

where's Zito? he can play a mean guitar

Abreu is killing it...

steroids :roll:

wow, he broke it

jesus christ, he's a fucking machine

:lol: This isn't smart though he is going to wear himself out and lose.

20

LOL traded for a guy named Nightstalker...

oh shit, he had a corked bat

why even play anymore. Game Over

I feel like I'm watching a practice scenerio for like All Star Baseball for Gamecube

his name was Stocker.

Berman was making up nicknames like he always does.

I don't have cable and MLB.com is being a dick. Whats happening?

Abreu hit 24 (new record), Bay hit 0, Carlos Lee hit 11, Hee Sop Choi hit 5. Oritz, Jones, Pudge, and Teixeira left in the first record.

Yeah. Abreu had a corked bat. Nah, he was killing it though.

best Derby in quite some time.

An All-Star thread 2 weeks before the all-star game? MADNESS.


Also, who won?

Roberto

I'm glad Abreu did that, not there is a legitmate record that will stand for a while. I remember being shocked that the single round record was only 15 last year. This way the record is really impressive and will definately last for a while.

Also, how long as the home run derby been held for?

I dunno, but I think its kind of a travesty that D-Train or Clemens aren't starting this game.

Yeah fuck LaRussa

Wanted Pudge to win. Hometown boy + the tiniest guy in the derby

WOOOO Starting sooon. Well in about 2 hours after the line-ups.

OMG THE GAME HASN'T EVEN STARTED AND I WANT TO SHOOT CHEVROLET AND BAD NEWS BEARS

Also, I don't think Bad News Bears looks all that terrible. It might be my number 2 baseball movie behind Sanlot.

Why the hell is a pregnant lady calling in the pre game? I dont wana see that shit, bring out John Madden instead . :|

I like Jeanie Zelasko.

The prego just completely cut off the old dude too. Kind of a bitch

I wonder whose decision it was to make Pujols the DH and have Lee play 1st. Hmmm...

Well no shit, she is fucking pregnant. She'll be coughing up attitude with every guest she interviews. Bring out Madden and let her breast feed him at least. BOOM.

Shut up. Theres nothing wrong with her.

the coaching staff maybe? lee deserves to start.

You missed my point.
